Votes Couldn't Save Low Scoring Couple on 'Dancing With the Stars: All Stars'

The first results night of
“Dancing With the Stars: All Stars” kicked off with some comments from the
stars. Tom Bergeron spoke with the
couples about why they wanted to try to win the mirror ball either for the first
time or for many the second time around.
It was a lot of chatter and recapping from last night to start.

Len announced that they
picked Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke’s Cha Cha Cha to see again from last
night. That dance was so much fun to
watch and it was great to watch the second time too!

After the pros and the dance
troupe kicked off the “real” elimination show at 9 p.m., Joey Fatone, Apolo
Ohno, Bristol Palin, and Shawn Johnson were up first for results. Shawn and Derek were the first couple safe, followed
by Apolo and Karina! Bristol and Mark
sadly learned that they were in jeopardy.
Joey and Kym rode the boy band fanfare wave into safety land.

The stars paraded on out! The band was playing their song. It was really great to see some of the couples back together and some of the new pairings as well. One thing is for sure, if we thought the dancing was fantastic last season, it is going to be amazing this season with all of the champions and near-champions in the ballroom.

Up first with the Cha Cha was Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson! The NSYNC crooner and runner up is looking forward to beating Season 4 champ Apolo Ohno, so we’ll see if he can do it. So the smoke was smoking up the stage and he started off with a huge jump right over Kym! He had a lot of flair and they had a ton of pizzazz! What a way to start off the All-Star season! I really think they looked sharp and had a lot of fun with the dance, that’s exactly what you want to see! Hopefully the judges liked it too. Len explained that the judging is changing, they are now judging with half points too! Len said that he loved watching him dance and had a high performance level and said to check out his footwork but thought it was great. Bruno said he always brings it on and that was the way to do it. He reminded him to straighten the back of his knee though. Carrie Ann said that he’s one of her favorite showmen, but Tom didn’t let her finish her comment! So who knows if she had something negative to add.

Their Scores: Carrie Ann – 6.5, Len – 7, and Bruno – 7, for a total of 20.5 out of 30. Carrie Ann added that she had more to say to explain her score but didn’t get the chance.
